Project management requires significant investment, regardless of the scope of work. Attention, planning, and logistics all play a role, and it’s a lot to handle on your own. With a building contractor, however, you can breathe easy as a dedicated team handles the details. Before starting any project, whether it’s retail building or remodeling, there are a few pertinent questions you should ask to ensure a stress-free experience.

What to Ask Your Building Contractor

1. What’s the Estimated Timeline?

When you know the dates you’re working with, it’s easier to manage unexpected setbacks or add-ons. Each task should have an estimated timeline detailing what needs to be done because it provides a big-picture look at how to pace yourself throughout the project.

2. Who Will Participate?

Project management takes more than a timeline; you need to know who is helping and when. There could be a superintendent leading a team, or a single building contractor installing the fixtures, tearing up carpeting, and painting the walls. Knowing who is supposed to be on your property provides a welcome peace of mind.

3. How Will My Belongings Be Protected?

The structure will acquire dust, dirt, and debris throughout the project. With the right preventative measures, however, it’s easy to keep messes at bay. Before any work begins, find out how areas will be protected and sectioned off.

In addition to messes, ask how your belongings, such as furniture, drapery, paintings, and dishes, will be kept safe. If it’s in the room, it’s at risk, so learn how every item will be protected, if anything requires removal, or if there’s a process to follow before work commences.
